Gambhir finally comes of age in the NZ tour

[Sachinism]

Sehwag needs to chill with the praises for Gambhir 1st compared to Dravid and now Gavaskar lol

There is so much more to achieve: Gambhir Gautam Gambhir may have come of age during the tour to New Zealand but the diminutive opener is not willing to be distracted by the new-found stardom. More...

Triumphant Team India returns to a tumultuous welcome More...

Gimme a break, SMG is the best test opener period! He is a proven run machine and has scored against the mighty WI without a helmet. GG has a long way to go.

[amits]

gambhir is the best ever opener in test cricket, so no praise is too high for him

[suraj]

Sehwag talk like he bats- entertainment one way or the other:haha::haha:

[fineleg]

gambhir is the best ever opener in test cricket' date= so no praise is too high for him

Gambhir overwhelmed by Sehwag?s gesture The southpaw coming to grips with the adulation More...

Sehwag has so far compared Gambhir to "The Wall" and "The original little master". Both high praise and now it is bloody hard to live up to that bill. I hope Gambhir doesn't get carried away and play like the "The Wall" or the "Little Master". He is way more positive batsman than the other two and can do good if he carries on in the same vein.

Gambhir is a great batsman no doubt but he has hardly played enough cricket to be compared to even the wall leave apart Gavaskar ... but he has the potential no doubt but it would have to be seen if he is consistent

amits, could u lei us know ur yardsticks of comparisions?

[bharat297]

Pretty simple ... Gambhir is from Delhi and Gavaskar (who was obviously just a quota player at that time) is from Mumbai

[amits]

amits' date=' could u lei us know ur yardsticks of comparisions?[/quote'] as i always make 100% geniune posts, so i will give this 1 as well - overall career batting avg - gambhir - 54.07 dravid - 52.53 gavaskar - 51.12 :hysterical: @ all those who think that 52.53 > 54.07 & 51.12 > 54.07 this proves that gambhir is better than dravid & gavaskar. also, gambhir has a better away record as well

gavaskar was never a quota-player. he was 1 of the best batsman of his time

So? Does that make him better than Dravid ? Dude u need to revisit your techniques of Comparisions. Edit:Incase u had a Brain Cell Damage /Malfunction i mentioned Dravid's first 25 Tests in comparision to Gambhir's only 25.
